Prepare Your Cooling Tower for Winter
With winter on the horizon, safeguarding cooling towers against freezing temperatures is not just crucial for maintaining operations—it's a strategic imperative for businesses. The cost of inaction can be substantial, ranging from operational disruptions to significant repair expenses. Chem-Aqua tells us how to prepare cooling towers for winter and navigate the cooler months without incident.To pr
The Effects of Carryover in Steam Boiler Systems
Boiler water carryover can cause deposits to form in valves, heat exchangers, turbines, and superheaters. If deposits are significant, heat transfer and/or turbine efficiency may be reduced. Additionally, carryover can strip away the protective magnetic layer on steam lines, remove the film formed by filming amine programs, cause erosion-induced corrosion, and result in product quality problems in

Preparing Your Cooling Tower For Spring Season: Screens and Physical Barriers
Spring brings a variety of challenges in keeping cooling towers clean. There are ways to fight back. Screens and physical barriers provide protection before debris enters the cooling tower. Filtration and chemical treatment programs can help. Specialty agent chemicals can help remove tough to remove particles.
Preparing Your Cooling Tower For Spring Season
In the spring, your cooling tower faces a barrage of tough conditions. Late winter weather can be an issue, but the small particles that infiltrate your system could be costly. Regularly scheduled spring maintenance and chemical treatments can eliminate buildup in your system. ChemAqua’s Services team can manage cleanings and disinfection processes. Visit ChemAqua to learn more.
Keeping Your Cooling Tower Clean In Spring
Keeping your cooling tower clean is imperative, but spring brings new challenges. Heavy storms, late winter weather, and airborne materials can wreak havoc on your cooling tower. Tree seed formation is a common issue, and Cottonwood trees being a major instigator. Seed casings and other contaminants can block inlet airways. Call Chem-Aqua Today To Learn How To Fight Back.

Understanding Cycles of Concentration
Cycles of concentration, or often stated as just cycles, is a core concept when controlling boiler or cooling tower water systems. Running cycles too high can lead scale and corrosion. Running cycles too low can lead to wasted water.
But what is really meant by the phrase “cycles of concentration?” Basically, it is telling us how many times the water in the boiler or cooling tower has been concent
The Importance of Maintaining HVAC Coils
HVAC systems work tirelessly to heat, cool, and clean the air we breathe. But too often, critical components fail to receive regular maintenance, and the consequences are costly.
Over time, condenser, evaporator, and air handler coils accumulate dirt, grease, and bacteria from the air and environment. Without proper cleaning, this buildup compromises efficiency and effective operation.
